Inspired by *Better Than Wolves*, it reintroduces meaningful logistics and planning around fluid use. <\/center><\/p>\n—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udca7 Water
\n– **Water source blocks cannot be placed.**
\n Instead, water **dissipates shortly after being placed**.
\n > This encourages building **water channels** and choosing your **base location** carefully.<\/p>\n
– **Waterlogged blocks** also lose their stored water when broken.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd25 Lava
\n– **Lava cannot be acquired using buckets.**
\n > Lava-based contraptions must be built **where lava naturally occurs**.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
These mechanics pair well with mods that add **mechanical or industrial fluid handling**, requiring effort and infrastructure instead of simple bucket transport.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration (via Mod Menu)
\nThis mod provides several configurable options:<\/p>\n
### **Lava Pickup**
\n– Toggle whether lava can be collected with buckets,
\n or whether doing so damages the player and destroys the bucket (default behavior).<\/p>\n
### **Source Fluid Block Pickup**
\n– Toggle if collecting a fluid source with a bucket **consumes the source block**.<\/p>\n
### **Waterlogging**
\n– Toggle whether **waterlogging blocks** is enabled.<\/p>\n
### **Dissipating Waterlogged Blocks**
\n– Toggle if **waterlogged blocks** should dissipate when broken.<\/p>\n
### **Dissipating Ice Blocks**
\n– Toggle if **ice** releases **dissipating water** when broken.<\/p>\n
### **Persistent Water in the End**
\n– In *Better Than Wolves*, water can be placed normally in the End.
\n Toggle this if you **don\u2019t want that behavior**.<\/p>\n
